DDOS attack strikes PlayerAssist.com

July 11, 2009 - PRLog -- Hong Kong - The website PlayerAssist.com has been under a distributed denial of service attack (DDoS attack) for the last twenty four hours.

PlayerAssist.com is an e-commerce store that sells virtual currency for popular Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games (MMORPGs) such as World of Warcraft Gold, Final Fantasy XI Gil, Age of Conan Gold, Lineage 2 Adena, EVE Online Gold, etc.

"No customer data or existing orders are being affected by this attack" says Daniel Huang, the media relations agent for PlayerAssist.com. Although no new orders can be taken since the website is essentially down.

Daniel believes that something has to be done quickly to try and bring some type of law and order to Somalia or things are only going to get much worse. T

Daniel stated that while the virtual currency business is doing well in the current economy, losing sales over an extended period of time will have a detrimental affect on PlayerAssist.com and if their hosting providers are not able to resolve the attack in the next few days they will be force to pay the ransom and hope the attack stops.

Ask if law enforcement were any help in this matter, Daniel replied "We were given the run around by the four agencies we contacted, it was very discouraging, but somewhat understandable when you look at where the attack is coming from".

Daniel believes this is an isolated incident and expects to hear more stories about other sites under attack.
